Titles found on the website are then available for purchase at the DVD counter. ;Sex club The Bijou Theater is widely recognized for its second-floor sex club. Travel magazines implore readers to explore the "gay man's fantasy playground" replete with glory holes, dark corners, and a BDSM dungeon with slings, crosses, and other fetish objects. Guests are invited to rent a locker to store their street clothes and change into their "play clothing." In warm weather, the club opens the Bijou Gardens, an outdoor playground.〔Mathrani, Matt (July 2008), (Chicago: Big, brawny, friendly ), (The Guide ) Retrieved on March 9, 2009.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bijou Theater (Chicago)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
